The Season Is Here for Savings - Brief Article

Boat/US Magazine, May, 2000

As the 2000 boating season springs forth, so do the savings for BoatU.S. Members. For the past four years, Association members have been awarded points for every purchase they make from Marine Centers, the BoatU.S. catalog and, beginning last year, the on-line store at www.boatus.com. The BoatU.S. Member Rewards program, the first of its type for boaters, tracks purchases whenever a member shows their BoatU.S. card when buying equipment.

The program awards one point for every dollar spent (not including shipping or tax). When you've accumulated 250 points, BoatU.S. will automatically issue a $10 discount coupon that can be used for future purchases, including electronics. If you prefer, you can save your coupons and redeem them for frequent flyer miles from almost all major U.S. airlines.

As an added bonus, when you use your BoatU.S. credit card, you are eligible for a 3% credit rebate, again the first program of its kind for boaters. When you use it with your membership card to buy an item at BoatU.S., you'll save boatloads in discounts, coupons and rebates.

Although many businesses will match the price of comparable products, these two exclusive programs guarantee that BoatU.S. members will always come out ahead. If you haven't applied for your BoatU.S. credit card yet, go to the Web site at www.boatus.com or call 800-847-7378 and start saving today.
